Hedgewitch icaridin is a human insect repellent that provides an effective alternative to DEET. It contains Icaridin at 20%, judged to be as effective as 50% DEET by the World Health Organisation. It is one of just three active ingredients recommended for use in malarial regions and can help protect against other nasty diseases carried by insects.

Its key strength is to provide protection from biting flies such as mosquitoes, midges, horseflies, sand flies, fleas, and ticks. Suitable for use on children and sensitive skin.

Hedgewitch icaridin contains no added fragrances, so you don’t have to smell like a perfumery to keep insects at bay. It works by confusing biting insects’ ability to accurately locate you so they aren’t able to land. Good coverage is essential or the best protection from bites. We recommend using it with our adjustable trigger spray, adjusted to mist, for best results.

Perfect for a quick spritz before any summer outdoor activities e.g. walking, gardening fishing, or for an evening BBQ to keep biting midges away. Icaridin is also perfect to take on your holidays for protection against mosquitoes.

 *** No smell, no nasties, no bitey flies ***

Summary info

How it works: Icaridin is nature-modelled, a copy of piperidin which occurs naturally in black pepper plants. The way icaridin works really is magic, it makes you almost invisible to biting insects. Even though they may still buzz around, they have trouble locating you accurately enough to land.

DON'T FORGET TO ORDER A TRIGGER SPRAY - ONE SHOULD LAST AT LEAST A SEASON

Less packaging waste - The bottle is supplied with a plastic top, all fully recyclable.

Purchased the repellent for the first time

Purchased the repellent for the first time for a trip to Scotland aware that the midges can be awful at times. The product has worked well and Hedgewitch delivered the order swiftly.

My tb mare is particularly upset by flies making riding out in summer difficult if not impossible

My tb mare is particularly upset by flies making riding out in summer difficult if not impossible. I have found Hedgewitch Icaradin fly spray the most effective fly repellent after buying loads of different types over the years, and have recommended it to my friend whose new horse is also especially sensitive to flies.

It actually works!

It actually works!
I Love the way you can adjust the spray to a fine mist which covers a bigger area. It doesn't have a strong smell so my horse doesn't mind it. I also like the fact that you buy the trigger spray once, less waste etc. Have bought more and recommended it to my horsey friends
